"There was no one before": Ukrainians have set up the production of Dovbush drones for the Armed Forces (video)

Together with other manufacturers, the company Volodymyr Yatsenko manages to provide about 50% of all needs of the Armed Forces and modern drones, but this is not enough. "We need to act in advance, take steps to warning. We thought in the fall that such a pace would be enough for us, but the fighting has intensified, and there are no longer enough capacities we were counting on for which we bought the equipment. I bought five lines and It was necessary, apparently, 10, " - said Vladimir.

He added that Ukrainian manufacturers are very assisted by feedback from military personnel who use domestic UAVs in battles. The fighters point to the shortcomings, and the engineers quickly correct them. In addition, the units report their current needs: what drones you need to collect more and which are less. The military says that after a full -scale invasion, drones have become much more complicated.

Earlier, Ukrainian operators managed to constantly explore on the outskirts of Donetsk with the help of one UAV, then in the summer the devices carried out only 15-20 departures, or even less. Nowadays there is a very high density of radio electronic fighting on the front, so drones lose much more often-after 2-3 flights. Each group of operators should be in stock of 5-6 birds, so manufacturers need to provide a continuous supply cycle.

"The war that is going on in Ukraine is a new phenomenon in the history of combat. Such a scale, such capacity of the use of artillery, drones and remedies has not previously been. Even compared to the summer of last year," the manufacturer said. In December, Volodymyr Yatsenko first declared the launch of mass production of reconnaissance drones "Dovbush" in one of the countries of Europe. The developers have been waiting for equipment and accessories for almost half a year.

At that time, they released about 10 drones a day and handed them in the Armed Forces for free. It is known that the reconnaissance model "Dovbush T10" has been tested on the forefront from the beginning of a full -scale war. The drones of this type are equipped with data collection cameras and reliable protection against Russian electronic warfare. Vladimir Yatsenko, engineers under the guidance of Vladimir Yatsenko, also operate a shock version, which is equipped with six grenades for the RPG.
